i Conversation of "Women.
In the art of conversation , woman , if
not the queen and victor , is the law
giver , sa3\s Ralph Waldo Emerson in
' one of his essays , [ f every one recalled
his experience he might find the best in
the speech of superior women which
was better than song , and carried ingen
uity , character , wise counsel , and .af
fection as easily as the wit with which
| it was adorned. They are not only wise
. themselves ; they make us wise. No
one can be a master in conversation
who has not learned much from women ;
their presence and inspiration are es
sential to its success. Steclc said of
his mistress "to have loved her was a
liberal education. " Shenstonegave no
had account of this influence in his de
scription of the French woman : "There
is a quality in which no woman in the
world can compete with her it is the
power of intellectual irritation. She
will draw wit out of a fool. She strik'es
with such address the chords of self-
love that she gives unexpected vigor
and agility to fancy , and electrifies a
body that seems non-electric. " Cole
ridge esteems cultivated women as the
depositories and guardians of "English
undefiled ; " and Luther commends that
accomplishment of "pure German"
speech of his wife. Mme. de Stael , by
the unanimous consent of all who knew
her , was the most extraordinary con-
vcrser that was kmnvn in her time and
it was a time full of eminent men and
women ; she knew all distinguished per
sons in letters or society , in England ,
Germany and Italy , as well as in France ,
though she said , with characteristic na
tionality , "Conversation , like talent ,
exists only in France. " Mme. de Stael
valued nothing but conversation. When
they showed her the beautiful Lake Le-
man , she exclaimed : "Oh , for the gut
ter of Rue de Bac ! " the street in Paris
on which her house stood. And she
said one day seriously to M. Mole , "If
it were not for respect to human opin
ions I would not open my window to see
the bay of Naples for the first time ,
whilst I would go 500 leagues to talk
with a man of genius whom I had not
seen. " St. Reuve tells us of the priv
ileged circle of Coppet , that , after mak
ing an excursion one day , the party re
turned in two coaches from Chamberry
to Aix on the way to Coppet. The last
coach had many rueful accidents to re
late a terrifiic thunder stormshocking ,
roads , and danger and gloom to the
whole company. The party in thcvscc-
end coach on arriving heard tr thrfcry
with surprise ; of thunder storms ; of
steeps , of mud , of danger , they knew
nothing ; no , they had forgotten earth
and breathed a purer air ; such a conver
sation between Mme. de Stael and.Mme.
Recamier and Benjamin Constant and
Schlegel ! They were in a state of de
light. The intoxication of their con
versation had made them insensible to
any notice of weather or rough roads.
Mine , de Tesse said , "If I were
queen I should command Mme. de Stael
to talk to me every day. " Conversation
fills all gaps , supplies all deficiencies.
What a good treat is that recorded of
Mme. de Main tenon , that , during din
ner , the servant slipped to her side ,
"Please , uiadame , one anecdote more
for there is no roast today. "
